Červená, Veronika ; Sekyrka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Prahl, Roman (referee)
The main focus of this diploma thesis is Jiří Kotalík, his relationship with the United States of America and projects in which he participated as the director of the National Gallery in Prague. To understand projects, it was necessary to clarify the broader circumstances, especially the relationship of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic to the United States of America and the cultural policy of both states. Therefore, the time frame was extended, both in the historical introduction and the first exhibition of American art in Czechoslovakia in 1947. It was also necessary to put into context the purpose for which large traveling exhibitions and other US cultural projects were organized and what reception they caused in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. The six largest exhibitions of American art, which took place in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in the years 1967-1990, were selected as a sample. In the end, other forms of cooperation of the National Gallery, respectively Jiří Kotalík with American institutions were indicated but also other forms of promotion of Czechoslovak art in the United States of America were indicated. Key words: Jiří Kotalík, National Gallery in Prague, Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, USA, Thomas Messer, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, propaganda, cultural policy,...

Červená, Veronika ; Rakušanová, Marie (advisor) ; Klimešová, Marie (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with period reflection of futurism in Czech art between 1909-1914. In the beginning is introduced futurism with its manifests, targets and representatives of futurism. Futurism in Czech environment doesn't appear in pure form but it played an important role in forming prewar avant-garde. This Bachelor thesis deals with creation of Otto Gutfreund, Bohumil Kubišta, František Kupka, Růžena Zátková, Vojtěch Preissig, Josef Váchal and Jan Konůpek. I aim with these authors on work made before first world war which consist of some partial themes of futurism or reflect futurism somehow. My target is not to give a comprehensive overview like recently published books but to aim on period reflection in Czech environment not only in works of art but also in critics, mainly in articles written by Josef Čapek, Stanislav Kostka Neumann, Emil Filla and Vincenc Kramář. Keywords: futurism, cubism, cubofuturism, prewar avant-garde, dynamism, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Josef Čapek, Karel Čapek, Stanislav Kostka Neumann, Emil Filla, Vincenc Kramář, Otto Gutfreund, Bohumil Kubišta, František Kupka, Růžena Zátková, Vojtěch Preissig, Josef Váchal, Jan Konůpek
